"I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution on the Tuberculosis Vaccine Initiative, because this disease remains one of the main causes of death in the world, with nearly 2 million people dying as a result of it every year. This initiative would be applied in the interests of tuberculosis sufferers worldwide, particularly those in the least advanced countries. It would also contribute towards implementing the Europe 2020 objectives and achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015. Furthermore, the vaccination programme could enhance the EU’s strategic independence in the fight against tuberculosis and other contagious diseases. It should be pointed out that vaccines are an essential means of combating tuberculosis, together with better testing. Testing must be reliable, low-cost and accessible to all patients, along with more effective diagnosis and treatment. This implies a major shift in the focus of research and an increase in sustainable funding for the vaccine package. Therefore, the European Commission and the Member States should stand by their funding commitments and do everything necessary to ensure that funds allocated to health care also reach the most impoverished and vulnerable people in the country."@en1
